[A cytological study of plants growing under exposure to different radiation levels].
Genetically significant consequences of emergency at the Chernobyl Atomic Power Plant have been studied on wheat and rye plants. Plants grown in the 30-km zone of the plant after its emergency are determined to have high frequency of chromosome aberrations reaching 2.666% in rye and 1.075-2.572% in wheat and 2.235-3.187% as dependent on the variety, biotype (awnless, semi-awned and awned) and places of occurrence. These levels of aberrations are 5.34, 2.42-5.78 and 4.07-6.71 times higher than their frequency in control plants (0.499, 0.444 and 0.475%, respectively).
